Browns move on from Burleson, Ogbonnaya

Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - The Cleveland Browns reached the NFL's 53-man roster limit on Saturday by making a series of moves, including terminating the contracts of four veteran players.

Wide receiver Nate Burleson, a 12-year NFL vet who struggled with a nagging hamstring strain throughout camp, linebackers Zac Diles and Jamal Westerman, and running back Chris Ogbonnaya were among the familiar names released by Cleveland.

"Nate is a true professional and it was a difficult decision for us." Browns first-year head coach Mike Pettine said. "Ultimately, his availability was a concern with all the time he missed and we liked what we saw in the other players at that position."
